Still stunned by the wonderful London Olympics. In amongst all the fantastic achievements of Great Britain's athletes over the last 17 days, one of the phrases we've heard most has been 'Personal Best' - even those who didn't win a medal in their event were thrilled to have reached a new level exceeding anything they had done before in their sport, and rightly so.We can't all be Olympians, but on a less exalted level perhaps,we can achieve our own 'personal best' by looking as good as we possibly can, and exploring new ideas to make the most of ourselves.
This doesn't mean that we have to get up at 4.00am for hours of gruelling training - though I have the highest respect for those who do! - but it does mean being brave enough to try something new and gaining confidence in yourself.
Working on your image, understanding what really suits you as an individual and building a wardrobe and personal style which reflects who you are at your very best is something we can all achieve, and the wonderful thing is that it doesn't hurt at all...........!
My personal Gold medals for Style to the sports presenters and pundits during the BBC's Olympics coverage go to:
Ladies - Denise Lewis. Not only a great athlete but a woman with terrific dress sense. From her bold pink fitted shift dress to the gorgeous outfit (black skinny trousers/purple top/white jacket) in which she jumped around the BBC studio yelling Mo Farah on towards his first Gold medal of the Games, her outfits really enhanced her colouring with vibrancy and contrast.
Dropping the Baton....
Clare Balding - an excellent commentator and mostly looked lovely in blues and pinks but just let down by a terrible disaster on one occasion when wearing a very fluorescent yellow/green top which completely overpowered her fair colouring....
Michael Johnson -such an intelligent and thoughtful commentator but should definitely jettison the digestive biscuit coloured jacket he wore on a couple of days - not such a good look for the great man.....
If you'd like a bit of professional coaching to achieve your personal best image and wardrobe, then do get in touch - I'd be glad to help you. And of course it might turn out that Silver is a better look for you than Gold!
Best wishes
